In the past five sessions, AGI Greenpac's shares have continued their impressive run, surging by nearly 29%.

Here's why the stock has been on a roll.

NCLAT's Acquisition Approval

In the latest development, AGI Greenpac has secured the green light from legal authorities for the acquisition of Hindustan National Glass (HNGL).

The approval, granted by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), comes after a series of appeals presented to the NCLAT by various parties, including Independent Sugar Corporation and others.

These appeals raised concerns about the procedural fairness and legality of the insolvency resolution process concerning Hindustan National Glass, with AGI Greenpac actively participating in the bid to acquire the company.

AGI Greenpac has expressed its satisfaction with the NCLAT's decision, viewing it as a significant legal triumph and a critical milestone in resolving the Hindustan National Glass insolvency case.

The company underscores that the decision reaffirms the meticulous adherence to due process and consideration of the interests of all stakeholders involved.

What Next?

The company has initiated commercial production at its newly established speciality glass facility in Bhongir, Telangana, boasting an impressive daily capacity of 154 tons.

This expansion has elevated the company's overall installed capacity to a substantial 1,754 tons per day.

The company has emphasised that this state-of-the-art plant is well-equipped to cater to the diverse needs of customers spanning various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumery and more.

Looking ahead, the global container market is anticipated to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% between 2021 and 2028.

This growth is attributed to the increasing global demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and alcoholic beverages, as highlighted in the company's FY23 annual report.

According to recent statistics, beer was ranked as the 246th most-traded commodity in the world in 2021, with a total trade value of US$ 16.8 billion (bn).

This bodes well for the glass packing market since beer as a commodity will boost sales.

Furthermore, the fine mist spray bottle segment is an incremental opportunity for the glass packaging industry as it is projected to reach a value of US$ 447.7 m during 2022-32.

The push pump bottle is also expected to dominate the global glass cosmetic bottle market and exhibit a CAGR growth of 5% during the forecasted period.

These factors collectively underline the company's potential for growth in the thriving glass packaging sector.
